The Toronto Hearings were held at Ryerson University in Toronto, Canada, during the 10th anniversary weekend of 9/11.

September 11, 2011 marks the 10th anniversary of the events in New York and Washington that have played a dramatic role in modern history. These events have provided a pretext for a War on Terror that has replaced the Cold War as a global conflict framework within which military invasions and occupations have taken place, as well as violations of international law and human rights and a widespread assault on the civil rights crucial to democracies. Global military spending, which began a rapid downswing after the end of the Cold War, has, with the help of the official account of the 9/11 attacks, risen to Cold War levels and continues to rise. The focus on military solutions to complex human problems has sidetracked humanity at the very moment when international cooperation is most required to address genuine challenges that humanity faces.

In the meantime, the credibility of the official reports on the 9/11 attacks (by the 9/11 Commission, the Federal Emergency Management Agency, the National Institute of Standards and Technology, the Federal Bureau of Investigation and other government or government-appointed agencies) has been questioned by millions of citizens in the United States and abroad, including victim family members, expert witnesses and international legal experts.

The International Center for 9/11 Studies has therefore decided to sponsor four days of International Hearings in the city of Toronto, Canada on the 10th anniversary of the events of September 11, 2001. During these Hearings, which will be broadcasted via the Internet, various expert witnesses will present the best available evidence into the case, discovered in the ten years since the 9/11 events occurred.

911blogger.com started out by filling a void in the blogger community by covering 9/11 related alternative news. There are now plenty of blogs that do this. 911blogger will continue to cover 9/11 related news, but will now broaden its mandate to cover similar events in recent, and not-so-recent history, like the OKC bombing, the 1993 WTC bombing, and the assassinations of high profile figures in the 1960s, in order to educate people new to the issues raised in such dramatic fashion on 9/11.

Let us be aware and free to think clearly and decide for ourselves. Free to follow evidence where ever it may lead. Free to be American or citizens of any country, free first and foremost to be humans on our earth our creator has allowed us to live, let us use this freedom to gain understanding and speak out for what we believe.

Bad text. Very bad. Moronic even. Truthers are the biggest morons in America. No question. Weak intellect and extremely gullible. Believing in 911 conspiracy theories is just like believing in the most ludicrous fantasies of David Icke. Nonsensical.

We need to care about evidence. To learn to use evidence to see truth instead of drowning in stupid fantasies.

What we need is a pill, some drug, that could help conspiracy theorists to cure their paranoid fantasies.

What? What does that mean? Anyhow, it remains true that conspiracy theorists are moronic nut jobs. Don't you agree? Is there anything more moronic than believing in reptilian overlords, flat earth, and 911 Trutherism?

I want to help them, not kill them. One idea could be to send them to an all conspiracy theorist island and disconnect them from the Internet. This way, we could at least contain their highly contagious disease. Perhaps this could be the cure.

Item #12 on the suggested list of grievances in the 99% Declaration speaks to the 9/11 issue but does not specifically mention it:

The United States has engaged in war after war only to later to discover that the pretexts relied upon to enter these wars were false or exaggerated to generate profits for the Military Industrial Complex and other corporations and individuals.

Here's a perfect example of where the work that delegates do shape the List Of Grievances. If people in their own district feel The List should specifically call for an independent 9/11 investigation, they charge their delegates with putting it into the list, where it may be included in the final draft the NGA signs off on.

I would strongly recommend that you email the Declaration working group and ask them if this important issue could be incorporated into the suggested List of Grievances. I would love to see the response you get. email address on their website

The issue of 9/11 seems related to at least 6 of the 23 items on the 99Percent Declaration. #7 Protection of the Planet, #9 Jobs for all Americans, #11 Immigration Reform, #12 Ending Perpetual Wars for Profit, #20 Ending Wars in Afghanistan, #23 Reinstitution of Civil Rights

further, it was/has been a turning point in all our lives. it is one of those before and after events, which could be argued has been the beginning as a defining moment anyway of our downfall and much of the chaos we are experiencing today.

It seems essential to get to the heart of the matter. To have a real investigation, as with any crime, especially since perhaps it's the largest in our lifetime, arguably having the greatest negative impact for humanity and Mother Nature.

Like any cancer, we must get to heart of issue and face it/resolve it/cut it out, or it continues to grow ultimately destroying the host.

9/11 was defining for a generation like Pearl Harbor was. Perhaps the delegates will wish the issue to be addressed in the List of Grievances in a bigger way. The more it's discussed at the DGA's, the more it will be discussed at the NGA. Peace.

Thank you for the excellent article. Here's a paragraph from it which i believe sums up how we all feel...

Of course the concern here is larger. If there is any possibility or doubt about whether the events of 9/11/2001 were participated in by members of our own government, then our entire democracy and world peace would be strengthened by getting to the bottom of the true facts of this pinnacle event of our time. It would be unhealthy to leave a cloud of doubt hanging over such assertions. There should be a full fledged national debate, experts from all sides should be interviewed on national media to get to the bottom of this once and for all. Our Congress should launch investigations into the physics questions that are causing so many to doubt the official story. No matter where anyone stands on this issue, this is obviously the only path to national healing and trust.

Copy Lima Charlie! Why is this obvious insight lost on all but a few? The government "should" investigate, arrest and prosecute the guilty. They can start with the obviously guilty. The ones who destroyed the crime scene.

Can we derail the war mongers and greed, fear and hate driven from attacking Iran? Can we help to bring home US troops still stuck overseas? Can we help to stop the destruction of our planet? Can we be a voice of compassion and truth for those that were senselessly and brutally tortured in secret prisons, taken away at night from their families?

If more begin to understand about 9/11, or at least start to question, that perhaps this whole war of terror has been based on a lie, then maybe the answer is Yes to the above questions.
